SHOE FOR WQMEU
POSITION Of- FARMERS
SHOULD TAKE GREATER INTEREST
IX INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITIONS.
They Hare Greater Capital and Pro
dace More Value Than Any Others
Interest In Advertising.
Thomas McCusker, contracting freight
agent of the Southern Pacific, thinks the
farmers of the country are not wholly
alive to their privileges and responsibil
ities in the Industrial community. He has
looked somewhat into the matter and had
this Interesting statement to make yester
day: "At no time in the history of the
Pacific Northwest has prosperity been
so widespread as now. This is true, both
as to commercial and agricultural pur
suits, as is evidenced hy the great de
mand .for merchandise, machinery and
agricultural implements of all kinds, and
the very good crops and the prices they
command. Truly, the farmer has his
Inning now. It Is said that people have
an idea in a general way that the farmer
is prosperous, but few not farmers know
how prosperous he is; and some farmers
don't know themselves. I refer to the
farmers in general, not to any particular
locality, and yet, among these, none are
more proseprous than the tanner of the
Pacific Korthwest.
"Many a farmer has realized for his 1900
grain crop an amount equal to 50 per cent
of the price of the land on which it grew.
The poultry on the farms produces each
year a value that exceeds by millions of
dollars the value of all the coal mined
each year. The hay produced each year
exceeds by millions of dollars that of the
iron and steel output. The gross earnings
of all the railways of the country are
less than one-half the farm value of the
products of our farms.
"Ail the capital of our National hanks
is only 3 per cent of the capital of the
farms, while every year our farms pro
duce that "which sells for more than all
the deposits in our National banks. The
annual products of our farms sell for
figures expressed, not in millions, not in
hundreds of millions, but billions of dol
lars. These statements are given by an
authority which we belive is reliable.
"Thus it may he seen that the farmer
is not only a capitalist, but a "Lord of
Creation.' That he is the bone and
sinew of the country there can be no
question. He "was on the skirmish line
when the sturdy pioneers blazed the way
to the conquest of the wild and wooly
West, and it can be as truthfully said
that civilization follows the plow, as that
the Constitution follows the flag. Why,
then, is he content to sit idly by and
-watch the efforts of the merchant, the
manufacturer and the dweller in the
cities and towns, through the medium of
expositions, carnivals and street fairs, to
advertise the resources of this country,
without so much as offering to lend a
hand?
"The merchant and manufacturer are
not the only beneficiaries. Their Inter
ests are mutual, and they should work
together. With the growth of the cities,
grows the demand for the products of
the farm. With the growth of the coun
try, grows the demand for the product
of the manufacturer, the one being an
absolute necessity to the other. As West
ward the course of Empire takes It way,
each year brings a greater number of
visitors from the East, looking for suita
ble locations and studying the resources
and possiblities of this country. There
fore, whenever a town or city decides to
hold a fair or carnival, the farmer should
co-operate with the merchant and sec

that each county Is represented to the
best advantage, and the success of the
fair will be assured. In furtherance" of
this view, I can say nothing that will
appeal more strongly to the intelligence
of the average -man than to quote from
the last speech of the late lamented Presi
dent McKinley at the Buffalo Exposition:
Expositions are the timekeepers of progress.
They record the world's advancement. They
stimulate the energy, enterprise and Intellect
of the people and quicken human genius. They
go into the home. They broaden and brighten
the dally life of the people. They open mighty
storehouses of Information to the student.
Every exposition, great or small, has helped
to some onward step. Comparison of ldea3 is
always educational; and as such Instructs the
braia and hand of man. Friendly rivalry lol
lows. which is the spur to Industrial Im
provement, the inspiration to useful inven
tion, to high endeavor in all departments, of
human actU'ity. It exacts a study of the
wants, comforts and even the whims of he
people and recognizes the efficacy of high
quality and new prices to win their favor.
The cuest for trade is an InronMvo tn m
J of business to devise, invent, improve and
economize in we cost of production. Business
life, whether among ourselves or with other
people, is ever a sharp struggle for success.
It will be none the less so m the ruture.
"Without competition we would be dinging
to the clumsy and antiquated process of farm
ing and manufacture and the methods . busi
ness of long ago, and the twentieth would be
no further advanced than the eighteenth cen
tury. But though commercial competitors we
are, commercial enemies we must not be.
"The exposition and carnival in Port
land, September 20 to October 20, is de
serving, not only of patronage, but the
very best efforts to make it a success. In
my opinion, it will be the best of its kind
ever held in Oregon. It has been mod
eled on different plans from anything
heretofore attempted, and will be a credit
not only to the city, but to the entire
state. The exhibits already in place are
are of a very high order, and there seems
to be a determination on the part of the
management and exhibitors to spare
neither pains nor money to make it a suc
cess. "Without a single exception, the agri
cultural exhibits have been secured main
ly through the efforts of the railroads.
For the first time in the history of the
exposition, the products of the Willam
ette Valley are shown to good advantage,
and this Is the work solely of the South
ern Pacific Company.
"It may be asked, Why do the railroads
Interest themselves in this matter? The
answer is simple; they have learned by
experience that friction wears out the
machinery, and that co-operation and
unity of interests benefit all alike. The
farmer necessarily depends on the rail
roads to get his product to market, while
the railroad expects to Increase its earn
ings by lending every assistance neces
sary to furthers the interests of the
farmer. What is true of the railroad
and the farmer, Is true of the manufac
turer and farmer. The exposition lasts
for 30 days, and it Is not too late yet
for each county in the state to be fitly
represented. Remember, this is but the
advance agent of the great Lewis and
Clark Centennial, to be held in 1905.
If the farmers wish to make it a success
they should lend a hand."

DEVOTED TO DIVORCES
DAY (TAKEN IIP IN THE STATE CIR
CUIT COURT.
One Woman Who Thought She Was
Divorced Found. Out Her Mis
take Litigation Notes.
Yesterday was divorce day in the State
Circuit Court, and seven decrees were an
nounced by Judge George.
On complaint of Anna B. Frost the mar
riage contract between her and Chester
C. Frost was dissolved, because he has
another wife, from whom he was never
divorced. The name of the latter was
Theresa E. Mallias, and she was married
to Frost in Sacramento in 1S71. She is
now known as Mrs. Charles Zeller. Airs.
Frost number 2 married her husband at
Vancouver. Wash., in 1SS9, he being un
der the impression that he was legally
separated from his first wife. About a
year ago she ascertained that no divorce
had ever been granted. Mrs. Frost num
ber 1. it appears, sent $25 to a lawyer
named Stevens, in San Francisco, to pro
cure a divorce for her, and, not knowing
much about such things, supposed the
case had been put through the court all
right, but it wasn't. Frost thought the
divorce had been awarded, and it seems
there was a mistake all around, which
was first discovered by Mrs. Frost num
ber 1 by writing a letter of inquiry.
Ruth M. Nlssonger was granted a di
vorce from A. E. Nlssonger, an ex-fireman.
They were married at Vancouver in
1SS6. She testified that three years ago
her husband deserted her and remained
away for 22 months. He returned to Port
land, and she took care of him for five
days when he was sick. Afterwards he
went away again. She said he was em
ployed at Nehalem in a sawmill, receiv
ing good wages, but did not contribute to
her support.
Anna E. Bard was divorced from James
F. Bard, an insurance agent, who got
into serious trouble because of his pro
pensity for gambling. The parties form
erly lived in Missouri, and at Denver.
Dora Graves was divorced from O. F.
Graves, to whom she was married at St.
Johns In September, 1897, and was re
stored to her maiden name, Coles. She
testified that he deserted her in Decem
ber, 189S. .
The bonds of matrimony existing be
tween Clara B. Hanson and Hans O. Han
son were dissolved. The evidence of Mrs.
Hanson was that her husband deserted
her in 1S94. They were married In Clack
amas County in 1S76. There are no chil
dren. William R. Older was divorced from
Stella A. Older on account of desertion.
Harriet Carlson was divorced from
Charles S. Carlson, because of desertion.
Judge Sears was engaged yesterday af-i
ternoon in hearing evidence in the con
tested divorce suit of Matilda Peterson
against O. F. Peterson. The parties have
resided in Columbia County. They were
married in 1S74. and their children are
all grown up. The complaint made by the
plaintiff Is that her husband is abusive
and quarrelsome. She said that she was
compelled to work for a living, and
did washing, cooking and sewing, and
that he threatened to blow them all up,
saying it would serve them right if he put
a bomb under the house and blew them
all into eternity. Peterson denies all of
these things. The trial will be concluded
today.
In the suit of Sarah King vs. Rowland
King, an order of default was entered.
Julia E. Bales has filed suit against
Isaac Bales for a divorce on the ground
of failure -to support her.
In the case of Ada Dlez vs. Fred C.
Diez, the court made an order that the
children aged 2 years and 7 months, re
spectively, be retained in the custody of
the mother, and restraining the defend
ant from interfering with her. A motion
that the defendant pay ?150 attorney's
fees and costs of suit is to be disposed of
on the day of trial.

Ice Company, to have the court deter
mine what disposition shall be made of
$353, supposed to have been stolen from
the safe of the ice company by Long,
was tried before Judge Cleland yester
day, and was taken under advisement.
The police authorities obtained posses
sion of $411, mostly from Mrs. Gage.
A small amount, Including some smooth
quarters, was secured from William
Walkow. According to the testimony the
money was sent to Walkow because Long
was afraid It might be used as evidence
against him, and wanted to get rid of it,
but Walkow refused to be mixed up in
the affair, and told the authorities all
he knew about it when requested to.
Mrs. Gage was jointly indicted with
Long, but the indictments against her
were afterwards dismissed. She testified
that the money taken from her is her
own property, and that she earned it
working as a dressmaker. Jennie Wilcox
and I. Goldsmith both testified that they
knew Mrs. Gage to have considerable
money in September, 1900. The crime for
which Long was apprehended was com
mitted in the month of December follow
ing. District Attorney Chamberlain testified
that Mrs. Gage admitted in his presence
that Long cracked the safe of the Blue
Mountain Ice Company, and said there
was not much in it, only about $60. De
tectives Snow and Kerrigan and Chief
McLauchlah testified along the same
line
Ex-Policeman Charles DuBois, who
worked up the case against Long, testi
fied among other things that Mrs. Gage
told him that Jack robbed the safe, but
she got none of the money.
Mrs. Gage took the witness stand and
denied having made any such statement.
She said: "I told him that Jack was
never out of the house that night. Jack
Long' may have known something about
it for all I know, he had the check."
P. J. Gorman, of the Blue Mountain Ice
Company, and James Rintoul, the book
keeper, testified that the amount of
money stolen from the safe was $353.
William Walkow was called as a wit
ness In rebuttal, and denied making cer
tain statements against Long and Mrs.
Gage, and testified that his feelings to
wards her were of a friendly nature. Wil
liam M. Gregory, attorney for the de
fense, took him in hand for cross
examination, and a hot scene followed.
P "Didn't you," asked Mr. Gregory, "tell
me if we wanted you as a witness we
would have to pay you; that you knew
something that would help us, but would
not tell it unless we paid you?"
"That's a He," answered Walkow, ex
citedly. "I tell you so to your face."
Mr. Gregory looked surprised, but re
tained his composure, and after chang
ing his question about somewhat several
times aked: "Didn't you say she
owed you money, and you would not
testify unless she paid you?"
"She does owe me money. I meant a
witness fee."
"She slapped your face once?"
"Yes."
"And still you feel kindly towards
her?"
Walkow explained that he bore no re
sentment. "You would like to strike her a blow
more than you would any "other woman
in town, wouldn't you?"
"No more than I would you."
"You would like me better if I was
not her attorney, would you not?" .
The witness aid he did not know that
it made any difference.
Wallace McCamant, who appeared as
counsel for the Blue Mountain Ice Com
pany, in the course of his argument said
the company ahd thrown smotth quarters
to one side until quite a number had
been accumulated. He referred to the
the company had thrown smooth quarters
among the money on hand in dispute, and
two marked coins.
